Previously on 21 Jump Street: Stealth junkie Kenny Weckerle rumbled with the scenery; Officer Tom Hanson missed his dead non-gay dad, and had no sense of humor about looking young, which got him reassigned to Jump Street; Waxer fought with and threatened Hanson.

Morning at Jump Street Chapel.Hanson comes in to find Jenko, Penhall, and Ioki playing slo-mo Frisbee football.This is somewhat Smurfy, but Hanson is disproportionately uptight, blaring that he’d really like to get started.He’s ignored, but continues spraying kiiiiind of a lot of attitude for the new guy on the squad — who, just a reminder, has barely gotten through ten consecutive minutes that we’ve seen without punching someone in the face or otherwise fucking up — about how, according to procedure, he needs to debrief.As Hoffs wanders in, Jenko says, and I quote, “Whenh?” and lets his tongue hang out of his mouth before saying he hates the word “procedure” because it “sounds…Republican or something.”Hanson snots that he is a Republican.”Figures,” grumps Jenko, but everyone sits down for the debrief.Hanson, not sure the buzz he seeks to kill is dead yet, snarks that it’s the only precinct in the city that has recess, and Jenko muses that, 15 years ago, the department had everyone take meditation breaks.

Jenko calls the meeting to “order,” and Ioki slides a big Ziploc of drogas down the table.Penhall’s like, constipated baby?, but Ioki tells him to cram it — it “hasn’t even taken its first step,” which is a pretty clever line, actually.How did Ioki get such pure product when the department still hasn’t coughed up the buy money?He borrowed a down payment out of Hoffs’s stash.Jenko tells him good job, they’ll pick the guy up the next day; Hoffs wants to share the collar because she fronted the money. Hanson gets out a notebook.Penhall: “Notes?What, are you related to Steve Garvey?”Penhall, I do not think that line means what you think it means.However: drink!Hanson begins reading in cop-speak from his notebook; Jenko’s like, get to the interesting part, so Hanson reports the dust-up with Waxer while the other undercovers make “this is boring me literally to death” faces.Hanson shows Waxer’s juvie record to Jenko while Penhall unfunnily imitates a police radio (shut up, Penhall) before bellowing, “GET TO THE POINT!” (amen, Penhall).Hanson thinks Waxer is connected to the Weckerle home invasion; he witnessed Waxer “extorting” Weckerle.Hoffs, to Ioki: “I think he means squeeeeezed.”Man, the sooner the show gets off the whole “Hanson can’t hang with the relaxed atmo and teen lingo” thing, the better.

Hanson thinks it’s not a coincidence that he was placed in the same high school as Waxer and Kenny.Jenko’s all, duh — I didn’t just get off tour with the Monkees (drink?).I wanted you to chill out for a few days and not start getting in kerfuffles with people.Hanson is, again, more brattily bent out of shape than seems warranted, and snaps that he had to act a fool with Waxer so that Kenny wouldn’t make him as a cop — a fair argument, in theory, but in practice, Kenny was nowhere near the fight in the parking lot, and also, what is with acting like a cock to your boss?Shut up, Hanson.Jenko puts Hanson and Ioki on a round-the-clock stakeout of Kenny, and reluctantly approves Ioki to take his own car; Ioki is thrilled, and everyone else smirks while Hanson looks confused.

Stakeout. Ioki shares that he learned English from watching Dragnet, and thought that a “stakeout” meant you got a sirloin.”Ha.”After some more joking around, Ioki says he hates stakeout duty, but Hanson kind of likes it.”You’re all cop, aren’t you,” Ioki says, not unkindly, before adding, “Like your old man,” letting us know Hanson Sr. was a department rock star who won the Medal of Valor.”What did he win it for?” Ioki asks.Hanson purses his lips: “Getting killed.”Thanks for the sugarcoating on that info, Barry Jerkwater.He was just asking, dang. Ioki nods, chastened.

Just then, the Weckerle garage opens and Kenny chugs out on his scooter.Hanson and Ioki “duck” “down” all of eight inches to avoid being seen; it’s fortunate that they’re on a TV show, because in real life, Stevie Wonder could spot them sitting in the front seat with their heads bent maybe 15 degrees to one side.Hilariously, despite an alleged serious drug problem which he’s supporting with Class A felonies, Kenny 1) conscientiously closes the garage door behind him before leaving and 2) looks both ways as he heads into the street. Ioki starts the car and they begin their pursuit, which is subtly conducted at a distance of maybe two car lengths behind Kenny, on otherwise-deserted streets.Kenny does not notice this, I guess because drugs make you deaf?For real, you guys, Ioki’s car is an ancient beater that would make a ton of noise, and it is right behind Kenny.Finally Ioki parks at a stealthier distance and, as Kenny continues to toss papers, gripes to Hanson, “Some collar — newspaper boy!”Seconds later Kenny jacks a jewelry-store window.Face!

Hanson is personally offended by Kenny “doing smash-and-grabs,” but Ioki is psyched for a car chase, and commences one.Hanson, of course, is all “take it easy,” and Ioki’s all “fuck that, I need the collar and this is a 459,” and when Kenny flips a bitch to evade them, Ioki throws it in reverse and chases him that way.Kenny heads into a plaza and takes the stairs with his scooter. Ioki drives badly and almost wrecks into a black-and-white, which then starts pursuing him.Hanson dads at Ioki to pull over.Lather, rinse, repeat until Kenny fits his scooter through some non-car-allowing space and gets away — and who should jump out with guns drawn to try to arrest Hanson and Ioki but Officer Charlie and his new partner.When Hanson confirms that they’re both cops, Charlie holsters his revolver and says he should have known, but he didn’t recognize Hanson “without the bandage on [his] partner’s nose.” Ioki pulls a “sheeee-it” face, probably because it’s quite uncool of the show to make the Asian character the bad driver.

English class.Kids sleep.A girl named Wendy tosses Hanson a note, but the teacher snags it and makes Hanson read it aloud.Hanson makes up something sarcastic about how enjoyable the teacher’s lecture is, so the teacher snatches it and reads the actual text: Wendy likes “to party” (geh), she’ll meet Hanson after school, and if Hanson has a car, he should just tell her “where it’s at,” which of course the teacher seizes on, and then we go to that Catskills place with Hanson editing the sentence so it doesn’t end in a preposition a la “where’s the cafeteria at, schmo.”The bell rings, and Hanson starts to leave, but the teacher isn’t having it; he could give Hanson detention, as he’s heard all about his disciplinary issues, but instead, he’s going to make Hanson join the drama club.

Out in the hall, Wendy is blathering on about how her mother thinks she’s a tramp and makes her watch all these PBS scare films about teen pregnancy.Hee.Wendy seems more ditzy than trampy; her skirt has a slit in the front that goes practically up to her navel, but even that seems more clueless than purposeful.More rambling about her “friend,” Sheila, who thought she had herpes but it was just a cold sore, how cool it is that Tom drives a Mustang, blah, and Hanson is in the process of fending her off with a lie about having a girlfriend when he spots Kenny — wearing the same garish royal-blue-plaid sweatshirt he had on the previous day, which could mean he’s so junked out he doesn’t change his clothes, but is probably just a continuity error — coming towards them in the hallway, so he has to hide his face by smooching Wendy.”Lucky girl,” Wendy burbles, and just as Hanson is about to barf from the procedure-violating anxiety caused by frenching a sophomore, a meathead in a varsity jacket rolls up, says Wendy is his girl, and hurls Hanson out of frame.Snerk.

Drama club.The teacher has selected Rip Van Winkle, which I didn’t know existed in play form.He addresses the students as “thespians,” so naturally a jockstrap has to make it clear that he’s no thespian, and another guy says, “No way, man — you’re a homo.”The show plays this line for a laugh.Nice work, 1987.Hanson comes in late with a crack about Rona Barrett (drink!); focus pull to reveal Kenny sitting in front of Hanson.The teacher asks Kenny to let Hanson look on with him, but Kenny treats us to another badly-synced censor job, mugging a la Three Stooges Larry, “This play stinks!Can’t we do something with ‘death’ in the title?”Kenny walks over to Hanson, who’s shitting a brick about blowing his cover.The fact that he’s staring at Kenny without even blinking is not really helping, and, after pointing out that fact, Kenny does recognize Hanson — but thinks it’s because Hanson dated Noreen.

Can Hanson let it go at that?No.After drama club, Hanson pesters Kenny by offering him a ride, then asking like ten times if Kenny’s okay when Kenny says no thanks.Kenny storms off; Wendy runs up; unfunny banter; Hanson gets rid of her by basically saying that he slept with Sheila and she did have the herp after all.

Parking lot.Waxer tells Kenny that Dad’s Jag was “just the interest” — he needs Kenny to pay down the principal of what he owes.Kenny fails to jump Waxer’s line, taking a three-day pause before sputtering that he told them, he’ll get the money.Hanson walks over and tells Waxer to leave Kenny alone.Kenny tells Hanson to mind his knitting, but Waxer’s “been waiting” for Hanson, who repeats that they should leave Kenny alone.Waxer, awesomely: “You best chill.This square’s a business associate of mine.”Amazing.”Will you shut up about that?!” Kenny squeaks.Waxer looks at Kenny all, “…Seriously, Hasselhoff?” before busting out a switchblade and strolling over to Hanson, fixing to “cut [him] a lesson.”I might love Waxer, you guys.

Waxer and Hanson circle each other West Side Story-ishly before the principal storms up and yells at them, seemingly unconcerned by the presence of a knife.Waxer lies that he and his new friend Hanson were just “playing the dozens.”Hee!I kind of wish he’d said “mumblety-peg” instead, but I’ll take it.Hanson backs Waxer’s story.Waxer will call Hanson later, he says pointedly.”Please do,” Hanson snots.The principal warns Hanson that Waxer is “a killer.””Is he,” Hanson says, clenching his jaw.

Jump Street.Jenko and Hanson eat pizza while Jenko admires Hanson’s perspicacity in getting more info about the string of recent robberies that have all occurred between 4 and 6 AM.Weirdly, Hanson thinks this makes it less likely Kenny is involved in drugs, versus a burglary ring.Jenko doesn’t get how Waxer fits into that theory.Hanson wants to pick Kenny up and lean on him, but Jenko says they’ll keep an eye on Kenny; Hanson should stay close to Waxer.

An industrial area.We pan down to see Waxer’s Ferrari outside an abandoned warehouse; within, Waxer and Sidekick chop Dad’s car as Kenny comes in and calls to them.They don’t hear him, so he has to turn down the boom box (drink!).Waxer smirks, “What’s the matter — you don’t like rap music?”Kenny doesn’t respond; he’s too busy staring in horror at what’s left of the Jag.Waxer laughs about how much money Sidekick got for the drive train — so Sidekick is good for something — but Kenny doesn’t answer and goes over to the trunk to grab the clarinet.”Yeah, well, you’re not pawnin’ this!” he half-cries, pointing at them with the instrument, which is out of its case and fully assembled, which would have gotten me grounded.Heh.”This belonged to my dad,” Kenny murmurs.”Don’t push it,” Waxer tells him, and when Kenny tries to negotiate a split of the take from the car parts, Waxer’s like, you’re funny, and: no.He snaps his fingers at Kenny, who reluctantly turns over a backpack full of camera equipment.Kenny asks if they’re square now; Waxer says not really, but this haul improves the ratio.

Endless establishing shot of a fancy-restaurant exterior as Waxer arrives at the valet station.In the stakeout car, Hanson says he’s going in; if Waxer comes out, Ioki is to honk twice and follow Waxer. Ioki isn’t sure Hanson is in charge of “this mission,” but Hanson says he’s the one undercover, which isn’t really an answer.Hanson softens a little and asks how Ioki wants to play it.”I don’t want to hit the horn twice,” Ioki sulks.”It’s broken.”Wah wah.”Surprise,” Hanson snarks, getting out.

Inside, Waxer — wearing a shiny grey suit with a cropped double-breasted jacket, accessorized with a huge rhinestone pin contraption at the collar — greets a woman who is at least 35 with a kiss.Hanson comes in right on his heels with his customary disregard for keeping a low profile.Then he hides behind a pole.

Waxer takes a cigarette out of a gold case.His contact, a bearded guy with his overcoat settled on his shoulders ’30s-gangster-style, chastises him for being late and asks where the stuff is.In the trunk, Waxer says, and suggests they open the champagne.Again: not understanding why the guy still perpetrates the fiction of high school at this point.At the bar, Hanson, who obviously is directly underneath one of the only bright lights in the dimly-lit restaurant, gets hassled by the bartender for trying to product-place a Bud Light, because — sing it if you know the words — he looks too young.Hanson whips out his badge and threatens to report the place to the “alcohol and beverage commission.”For…carding, as they are required to do by law?Shut up, Hanson.

Outside, Ioki spots Waxer and Overcoat getting into their cars — except that Overcoat gets into Waxer’s Ferrari, and Waxer takes Overcoat’s Porsche.Hanson makes a twirly gesture at Ioki, who nods and pulls out while Hanson jogs over to a cab, gets in, identifies himself as a cop, and — “let me guess,” snorts the driver.”Follow that car?”The driver won’t move until Hanson throws him a twenty.

Ioki follows the Ferrari to an apartment complex.

A Casio bleats “humorously” as the cab follows the Porsche, weaving through traffic.Hanson looks nauseated and asks if the cab driver is related to “a guy named Ioki.””Is he Italian?” the driver laughs.Woof.So amused is the driver at his own joke that he takes his eyes off the road, and rear-ends the Porsche.Waxer comes bombing out of the driver’s seat, yelling, then spots Hanson and wants to know what gives.Hanson doesn’t have an answer, just gulps.”You following me, boy?” Waxer yells, then whips out a pistol and shoots out the back windshield before running back to the Porsche and burning rubber.”FOLLOW HIM!” Hanson yells, and then there’s a “humorous” ground-angle shot of the cab’s busted front grille as the driver tries to comply, but can’t.

Cut to a darkened bedroom, where Jenko answers the phone; Hanson reports that he and Ioki screwed up and didn’t catch the vehicle switch. Ioki did get a name and address for Overcoat, though.Jenko is mostly relieved that Hanson didn’t get his ass shot; he tells Hanson and Ioki to pick up Kenny, whom they will then use as bait because Waxer will want to silence him, or something.They’ll figure out Overcoat’s deal the next day.

Kenny is doing something suspicious with some trash bins in an alley or something when Waxer rolls up in the Porsche.Kenny whines, “What do you want?”For once, Waxer doesn’t want anything; he’s rewarding Kenny for his performance with “some profit participation” to “keep morale high.”Literally, it seems; he hands Kenny a vial and advises him to “speedball this mix.”Kenny smiles weakly.

The next day at school, Hanson jumps out of Ioki’s car (I don’t know) and runs towards the building, stopping to accost the sleeping kid from the English-class scene and ask if he knows Kenny.Sleeping Kid knows Kenny’s sister “better.”Barf.He hasn’t seen Kenny around.Hanson sprints off.

In the boys’ locker room, Kenny, finding it empty, whips out a syringe and starts taking his belt off.Remember: except for the implication that Waxer is into him for serious money, we have up to this point seen no evidence that Kenny has a drug problem — none.Remember also that Waxer gave him the drugs last night, but Kenny has apparently waited until first thing in the morning, at school, to take them, which is fucking ridiculous, and is tying off and shooting up in the open shower instead of in a bathroom stall with a door.A more generous critic might say that this is supposed to be interpreted as a cry for help, but my take is that nobody in the writers’ room has even a thirdhand understanding of drug behavior, addicted or otherwise.

Drama club has convened.Fart humor, which sadly fails to make me laugh.Hanson bursts in to ask if anyone’s seen Kenny, and a bucktoothed extra says he saw Kenny down by the gym.

In the 20 seconds that scene took, Kenny has managed to OD.Hanson runs in to find Kenny on his side in the showers; one of the showers is on, of course, because ODs don’t look nearly as bleak without steam billowing everywhere.Hanson runs to the wall phone in the locker room (as if) and yells at someone to get the paramedics.

Elsewhere, Ioki and Jenko crash into Overcoat’s apartment.Not sure how this constitutes the legal service of a warrant, or why Frederic Forrest is blocked like one of the chimps in the opening sequence of 2001: A Space Odyssey, but anyway, while Ioki is angrily reading Overcoat his rights, we see Kenny getting loaded into an ambulance as other students cluster around and look shocked that anyone is stupid enough to shoot up on school grounds.

In the hospital hallway, Hoffs says that “Kenny was shooting junk — it had to happen!”Hanson feels responsible for Waxer giving Kenny a hot shot. Hoffs PSAs that, eventually, anyone who does drugs is going to die: maybe soon, maybe after “a whole lotta pain,” but they’re going to die.”You can bust all the dealers you want,” she tells him, “but the thing is, you gotta bust the jones.”Real ray of sunshine, that Hoffs.

In Kenny’s room, Dad tells Kenny that Noreen says she loves him and she’s “real sorry.””We’re all sorry,” Mom whispers sadly.”Sorry”?I am trying to imagine a world in which, had I overdosed as a teenager, at school, my parents would have gazed down on me fondly while apologizing.In this world, a goat is president, cars run on taffy and the dreams of babies, and my mother would still make me weed every yard between their house and Augusta, GA before kicking me to death for being a dumbass.Kenny grits, “For what?You had nothing to do with it,” adding, “It’s got more to do with who’s cool than what kind of mom and dad you got stuck with.”I don’t think that argument extends to criminal trespass and grand larceny, but the show seems pretty determined to put the entirety of the drug culture at the feet of peer pressure, and I don’t have the energy to argue the nuances at the moment, so let’s move on.

Enter Hanson, who without preamble asks Mom and Dad to excuse them.Dad says sure, and tells Kenny they’ll play golf that weekend, “just you and the old man.”This is how you react to your son’s drug overdose.With…golf.…Actually, that’s a fairly effective punishment now that I think about it.Carry on, Dad.Kenny does his best imitation of Shaun Cassidy in Like Normal People before whimpering, “I hear you’re a cop.”Hanson nods.Pause; cut to the back of Kenny’s head for another swap of “stinks” for “sucks” as Kenny shouts, “THAT STINKS!”He accuses Hanson of double-agentry and turning in his “buddies,” and Hanson reminds him that they’re not buddies, really, but he saved Kenny’s life anyway.Which is his job, but whatever.Kenny isn’t impressed.Hanson yells that, given the grade of the drugs, Waxer was obviously trying to kill Kenny; more quietly, he admits that Waxer figured him for a cop, and tried to shut Kenny up before Hanson could get to him.

Kenny smirks that maybe Dad and Hanson should split the cost of the hospital room, then, at which time Hanson slaps him in the face.Hee.Then Kenny yells, “Spit off!” — hee! — so Hanson slaps him again!Hee!Maybe Hanson can’t save Kenny; maybe he doesn’t want to — but he wants Waxer’s ass.Cut to Kenny mounting a serious challenge to Dawson Leery’s “ugliest TV cry in history” title.Hanson says that Kenny needs to tell him where Waxer is, or he’ll kick Kenny until he does.Kenny continues bawling.

Oh, great: Penhall.Penhall and Hoffs ride up to Waxer’s lair on Penhall’s motorcycle.Hoffs’s jacket has more fringe on it than an alien-abduction convention.Sidekick opens the door and is inhospitable.…Probably.Hard to tell with this “actor.”Hoffs is looking for “an OG named Waxer.”Sidekick gives Penhall the hairy eyeball, which Penhall tells him to stow sideways; Hoffs says, “Relax; dude’s sprung.”Waxer asks who it is, and is told, “Some fresh-looking freak!And a grey boy.”Penhall bares his teeth, possibly because he’s insulted, possibly because this dialogue sounds like when the Sassy editors tried to get the readers to use made-up words like “groovox.”Stop trying to make “fetch” happen, Sidekick.Waxer comes to the door, looks Hoffs over, and asks what she wants.”An eight-track,” she says.Waxer asks where she heard she could get that from him.She rolls her eyes: “Original gangster, my eye.””My eye”?Now we’re in an Everything’s Archie episode?Hoffs starts to leave, but when it’s clear she has money, Waxer says she can come in; Penhall has to stay outside.I knew I liked Waxer.

In the van, Jenko grumbles that Hoffs isn’t supposed to go in by herself.She’s wearing a wire, evidently, as Jenko and Ioki can hear Waxer talking.Hoffs wises off to Waxer that yeah right, he bought that fancy car by stealing kids’ lunch money; Jenko wires Hanson that it’s a “broken play — Hoffs went in alone.”Hoffs is making the deal, saying the rest of the money is outside with Penhall, so Waxer hands her the vial, then for no reason that I can discern smells a rat and rips her shirt open to reveal the mic.Oops. Ioki hollers into the radio, “Roll in!”And when Jump Street rolls in, they do it with a promptness, friends: a split second later, Penhall kicks the door in and starts shooting without even looking to see where Hoffs is, and after a brief gunfire melee, Jenko’s van comes crashing through a shoddily-built wall.More shooting.Sidekick won’t drop his weapon, so finally someone drops him instead, and Waxer’s like, fuck this, and bolts, only to get hit by Hanson’s Mustang — but Hanson is courteously driving at only 15 mph so that Waxer can cling to the windshield-wiper hutch and shoot at Hanson point-blank.

Hanson screeches to a stop and throws Waxer from the hood, but he takes so long to get out of the car that Waxer is able to get up and run away.Like Rasputin, that guy.An interminable foot chase ensues, under overpasses and over fences, up stairwells, along moodily-lit train platforms, and up more stairs.Hanson is gaining, but probably can’t catch Waxer unless he trips — which he does.But when Hanson tries to arrest him, Waxer pants, “You’re not man enough, boy,” and elbows him in the face, and then they fight for a week and a half before Hanson finally Foleys Waxer in the face, knocks him down, and points a gun at his jaw.Jenko drives up, lights flashing, and hoists Waxer into a patrol car as Hoffs hoots, “Oooooh, and they say white boys ain’t fast?”Shut up, Hoffs.Hanson bellows at the patrol car that he didn’t finish reading Waxer his rights, which someone needs to do so the arrest doesn’t get thrown out.”Hanson, I swear,” Hoffs laughs, “you never stop being a cop, do you?Never.”It’s not like he tried to Mirandize your cat, Hoffs; he just arrested a drug dealer.Pretty good time to keep being a cop, if you ask me.”I like that in a man,” Hoffs pouts.Yuck.

Jenko comes back over to check Hanson okay and tell him good work.Hanson asks what Hoffs’s deal is; Jenko’s like, dream on, man.

Noreen has come to pick Kenny up from the hospital.He chooses to ignore the fact that she’s dressed like Julia Sugarbaker in favor of teasing her about her driving and wondering why their parents didn’t come.Noreen explains that they didn’t “want to lay a whole bunch of stuff on you right away.”Like rehab, and the time in juvie he should by rights be looking forward to doing?Who are these people?”I guess parents do that kind of stuff ’cause they love you, huh?” Kenny sighs wistfully.Yes, Kenny.And because they suck at parenting.Noreen points out that it’s been hard on Mom and Dad; Kenny says he’ll be okay, because he spent two whole days in the hospital, so he’s all better now, plus the police apparently consider his almost dying punishment enough.Some of that was silent. Kenny sees Hanson leaning on his Mustang with pasted-down hair, and excuses himself to go talk to him.

Kenny asks if Hanson’s still talking to him.”Sure.”That’s great, Kenny says.”Even though I’m a cop?””Especially because you’re a cop,” Kenny says.Hanson says kindly, but without taking off his opaque sunglasses, that messing up once isn’t the end of everything: “It happens to everybody.”It happens to Hanson all the time, in fact.They shake hands, and Hanson tells Kenny to take care, and to enjoy doing the 450 hours of glazier-related community service he’s been assigned to work off the jewelry-store jobs.Except he doesn’t say that last part.Seriously: not even a throwaway line about the consequences?I find it hard to believe that Kenny gets off scot-free for merely telling Hanson, “Waxer’s in a warehouse downtown, just follow the stench of Sidekick’s crappy acting,” but I could live with it if it had gotten a mention, at least.But no, Kenny just says thanks, and Hanson jokes that Kenny should say hi to Noreen for him.Har.

Jump Street locker room.Penhall is bitching about how lucky Hanson is — three collars in less than a week, major drug ring busted, Kenny’s going to rehab (first we’ve heard of that, but: all righty), and “another American family is saved from the jaws of destruction.”Penhall is wearing a JUST SAY NO TO DRUGS shirt during this harangue, which he winds up by kissing his hand, slapping one of the pin-up girls in his locker with it (shut up, Penhall), and sliding down the fireman’s pole while asking if they’re going to let Hanson get away with stealing all of their glory.Perhaps the Amish readers would like to guess whom Penhall will find at the bottom of said pole.

Very good, Miss Yoder!It’s Hanson!Awkward!Not as awkward as the wardrobe choices, which have put Ioki in a “Buster Poindexter attends a Miami bar mitzvah” pleated suit with ginormo shoulder pads, and Hoffs in jeans that are more rip than pantleg and are also belted just below her nipples.Jesus.Hoffs observes that, when Penhall complains that much about another cop, it means he’s impressed, “and he should be.””And if he’s not, I am,” Ioki says.After Hoffs and Ioki walk away, Penhall admits he’s impressed, “but don’t let them in on it; I got a rep to protect, you know.”No comment.Hanson wants to debrief; Penhall points out that it’s Friday night, so: no.When Hanson doesn’t get it, Penhall does a guitar split by way of answer.

Cut to Jenko’s garage, adorned with a Jim Morrison poster.STOP THAT, JENKO.Jenko’s band is practicing, and he greets Hanson — who is wearing an argyle sweater — with, “Well now there then.What’d you do, win a field trip to Grosse Pointe?”Hee.Hanson is carrying his sax, and says he’s trying to leave his work at work.He thought he’d sit in with the band, if they “can keep up.”Jenko is like, as if, and the episode ends.

And then the lady with the dragon-lady-length Lee Press-On Nails (and I swear to God, this is how they were advertised back in the day) nostalgically turns the pages of the Jump Street yearbook as the sax version of the theme song bleats.

Next time: Hanson and Penhall infiltrate a stolen-car ring, which means we have all manner of clanky single entendres involving stick shifts and carburetors to look forward to.
